Spektrum antennas and most 2.4ghz reciever wires are fairly short...

The line is so short that you end up using a short tube.

3100 are DSM2 corect? you cant shorten those because if you notice its got a special end on the reciever because its DSM2 technology... DSM however can be shortened... I have DX3S using the telemetry reciever and its barely 3 inches....

This is what we have. I agree the regular spektrum receiver has the longer antenna. Thats why i switched to this one.

That is the the receiver I use for my Spektrum DX2.0 and it works flawlessly. I am thinking about upgrading to the DX3.0 controller

Its an upgrade for me since right now I have 3 cars with a transmitter that can only control two. I will hold out though. I will wait and see if I want the R or the S. Right now I am ok swapping between the three cars.
